The electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) was used to directly measure the dissolution rate at cathodic potentials, and thus the cathodic corrosion rate, of thin-film analogs of phases in AA2024. Thin films ...

The pitting and intergranular corrosion (IGC) behavior of various tempers of AA2024 was investigated in 1 M NaCl. The breakdown potentials associated with pitting or IGC were determined. The breakdown potentials were found ...
